    Very Annoyed

    I can't see how they have left that like that - maybe they didn't torque it up to the right value and with the vibration it has come lose??. I'd hope they know what a torque wrench is and how to use it!

    ContiSport Contact 5's

    OE tyres are important. Chassis would have worked with tyre manufacturers and chose a tyre based on a number of reasons/criteria. I know as a couple of my friends work in Chassis/R&D for large motor car manufacturers and the work/cost that goes in to selecting the OE tyre in immense. Saying all...

    Failed gearbox question

    I just don't understand how if this is so common - which it seems to be - Renault have not been forced to issue a recall as surely there is something critically wrong with the components build and/or design for them fail so prematurely.. It worries me for the future as I don't cover many...

    Battery Life - What's the Longest I can Leave My RS200 Parked and Locked?

    All depends on the battery condition.. if it's fully charged and in good/newsish cond then you can get away with 'XX' amount of weeks/months.. but I wouldn't risk leaving a car 6+ weeks with a battery that may or may not be in good cond.. unless of course your not bothered charging it if it does...

    My FF Cup Packed Albi 200

    Another late update. This happened a fair few months back but never got time to post. I noticed that the front bumper and diffuser (also some of the rear diffuser) was a bit scratched..something that happens quite a bit on the Gloss Black parts I have heard (Paint is soft?). The last owner must...

    Battery Life - What's the Longest I can Leave My RS200 Parked and Locked?

    Your always best disconnecting the battery when not using it for a long period. Not sure how you sort the locking. Presume you lock all the doors then disconnect and only use the drivers door then?

    Worn Bolster Recaros's

    There was a massive thread on Recaro's with loads of pics recently. I'd have a search for that.

    200: CUP and NON CUP Difference.

    very comprehensive! filled in some of my gaps anyway. I have been told by a few people at Renault that FF with Cup chassis should have a jack, or at least my car did when it left the showroom. Wonder if the airbags are to do with whether you have Recaros or not? I have read some where they...

    200: CUP and NON CUP Difference.

    must be wrong then - hence why I said I think ;/ I'm sure I have seen the back of a cup with just plain grey seat backs and no head rests though.. oh well - Think I got the other stuff right..:thumbup:

    200: CUP and NON CUP Difference.

    on the diff between cup and FF not sure but there has been some talk about some people getting a jack and others not.. eg cup has no jack FF does. I've been told FF even with cup pack has a jack... but then I've heard some people as per threads on here say otherwise. Either way your friend...

    The most collectable Clio...

    tbh none of them except the V6 are ever going to be proper 'collectable' and/or worth a huge amount in the future. Lets be honest, 205 T16's, Renault 5 Gordini etc are proper collectable hatches - they differ greatly from the standard Renault 5/Pug 205 and were build for homologation purposes...
